[QUOTE="thlucas, post: 1031431, member: 111098"] Hi Tential, The naming standard is currently hard-coded into the program to rename the file using the following standard: filename = tvdbSeriesName + " - " + tvdbEpisodeNumber + " - " + tvdbEpisodeName + wtvFileExtension. I might be able to make that customizable, but I'm not familiar with the S01E01 format that you mentioned. I assume the "S01" stands for Season 1, and the "E01" stands for Episode 1, but you know what they say about assumptions. :D Could you provide an example based upon the following TV metadata: Original WTV File Name = Last Man Standing_KMTVDT_2012_03_20_19_31_00.wtv Renamed WTV File Name = Last Man Standing (2011) - 1 x 20 - Animal Wrongs.wtv TVDB web-site URL: [url]http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=248834&seasonid=466460&lid=7[/url] TVDB info: Season 1, Episode 20, Name=Animal Wrongs, Original Air Date=2013/03/20 As for the "Episode 1; Episode 2" titles, that is all matched based upon what TheTVDB database contains. The WTV Organizer tries to match what's in the WTV metadata to a title in TheTVDB database. If it can't find a match on title, then it tries to match on the series name and original air date. If it can't find a match on that, then it gives up and bypasses the file. It sounds like it's not finding a match, which means either the WTV file metadata is wrong, or TheTVDB database entry is wrong. I sometimes have a few episodes that don't match, and have to manually rename them - but not too often. As for moving to subfolders, I might be able to add a feature that will rename the file in place and not move it to a subfolder. Or would you rather have it moved to another location entirely? As for WMC, the only reason I go into it is to schedule the recordings. I watch all my pre-recorded content via MediaPortal. I like the stability and easy setup of WMC to record TV - I tried the MP TV support, but found it unreliable. That has been a couple of years ago, but I haven't revisited it since as my current solution works great and gives me zero issues. I'm not familiar with Handbrake. [/QUOTE]
